Reading. That is all I have been doing. I’m currently reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.
I’ve also been finishing off Daniel Quinn’s entire library. All I can say is that I feel more productive reading than I do spending
countless hours playing the Sims. Where eventually I get so annoyed with their constant neediness I lock them all in a room
and watch them starve to death. Needless to say, I believe I shall be deleting the game from my hardrive.

I’m anticipating my court date on the 23rd. Sort of. It would be nice if my lawyer cared to contact me. His secretary told me the only
available day to see him would be the day before my court date, and she thought that would be useless. Useless as opposed to what?? Not
talking to me about my case (see Sept. 8 entry) at all and showing up in court unaware of what the hell is about to happen? Argh.

The system is so
terribly flawed.
